    There's no manpage with the source code.  It comes with .texi files 
and a perl script to create pod files.  Had to do some digging to find 
that part ...

    Yeah, I saw that.  They're using xvid ... not what I'm going to do, 
so installing xvid is pointless.  I need it to go from .3gp to .mov or 
.mp4 files.  Looking at ffmpeg -formats I can both encode and decode for 
both .mov and .mp4 formats.
